We are hoping to have a meet up in November at our usual venue, the Café Bar in the Concert Hall.
Good company, plenty of blethering and the usual trail around J.L. are promised!

Everyone is welcome, whether you are coming for the first time or are a veteran.

This is where the fun starts, agreeing on a suitable day first, then we can look at dates.

I cannot do a Thursday, but as usual, we will go with the majority.

The 17th, or 19th November would suit me best but when can you be there Marydoll?
Was there a poll last time?

I will think about it later, my brain is wooly today. X
My presence is not a necessity, we need to go with the majority. X

Marydoll Mon 27-Oct-25 08:57:10

I can do: Mon. 3rd, 17th, 23rd November.
Tues, 4th, 11th, 18th.
Weds, All Weds
Thurs, none
Fri., Not the 7th.

Naughtyneine Mon 27-Oct-25 09:56:43

The only day I can't do is Nov 20th.....

baubles Mon 27-Oct-25 10:01:50

Can’t do Wednesdays.

Any Monday, Thursday or Friday.

I can change my Tuesday shift if that turns out to be the best day.

brook2704 Mon 27-Oct-25 10:27:03

It’s going to be difficult to get a date to suit everyone so but so far I’m available
Monday 10th or 24th
Tuesday 4th
Wednesday 19th or 26th
Thursday 27th
Friday 7th

Happy to go with the best date that suits all though and if I can’t make it this time I’ll see you at the next one 😍

Grammaretto Mon 27-Oct-25 16:17:23

My presence isn't necessary but I would love to see as many as can come! The one week I can't do at all is 10th to 14th November and odd days here and there....

weenanni59 Mon 27-Oct-25 17:04:51

Marydoll Tue 28-Oct-25 08:24:36

Always the geek, I am going to make a spreadsheet and collate the information here. That way, there will be an overview of the days people can come.
It will probably be tomorrow.

There are a few names missing, I'm a bit puzzled, because we usually have about fourteen grans.

Naughtyneine Tue 28-Oct-25 09:34:44

Ooh do it MD...cross me off the 19th as well as the 20th... I'd forgotten about a governors meeting. Oops

Grandmabatty Tue 28-Oct-25 10:03:17

I'm not sure Marydoll. I'll try and make whatever day is chosen depending on my leg etc

Grannmarie Tue 28-Oct-25 10:38:39

I'll try to make whatever day is chosen too. Thanks Mary.

weenanni59 Tue 28-Oct-25 11:25:59

Sorry MaryDoll , I now can’t do the 14 th!

Litterpicker Mon 03-Nov-25 17:38:53

I’m really sad I won’t make the November meet-up 🥲. I hope you manage to find a date that suits most people.

I will be back in Scotland mid-January until (probably) mid-February so if anyone is free then I’d be happy to meet for a coffee anywhere within reasonably easy reach (by bus or train) of Edinburgh.

Grammaretto Wed 05-Nov-25 18:21:30

Do we have a date?
I'm getting rather booked up now with family so may have to miss out 😥

I can meet you in Edinburgh in January Litterpicker 😀

baubles Sat 08-Nov-25 07:11:23

Bumpity bump.

Baggs Sat 08-Nov-25 12:51:50

Well bumped, baubles. Perhaps we should compile "can do" lists instead of can'ts. Like a Monday List, Tuesday List, etc.

No reason why we can't have several meetups if arranging one is too tricky.

I'll put myself on three lists: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

baubles Sat 08-Nov-25 15:32:36

Good idea Baggs. Generally speaking I can do Mondays, Fridays, some Thursdays, Tuesdays at a pinch.

Baggs Sat 08-Nov-25 19:22:32

That looks like two votes for a Friday then.

Any more Friday people? 🙂

Marydoll Sat 08-Nov-25 19:48:11

Tuesdays and Fridays for me, but not 14th November.

I keep getting locked out of Gransnet,😡 hence my tardiness in responding.
I did try to do a spreadsheet, but it was a nightmare, trying to accomodating everyone.

brook2704 Sat 08-Nov-25 20:46:02

Thanks Baubles, Baggs & Marydoll
I’m quite busy for most of November now with various things on so unfortunately I’m unlikely to make it this time
Hopefully next time though x

Stilllearning Sat 08-Nov-25 23:50:00

I can do Fridays

baubles Sun 09-Nov-25 07:28:02

Friday is looking like a good option.
How about the 21st or 28th?

Kalu Sun 09-Nov-25 08:13:07

Fridays good for me too and I can do either date, 21st/28th.

Baggs Sun 09-Nov-25 08:20:32

Friday list so far then:

Kalu
baubles
stilllearning
Marydoll
Baggs

And it's looking like the 21st or 28th.

Which shall we go for?

Anyone else who wants and is able to come is welcome of course smile
